Market Pre-Construction Real Estate Faster Than Ever Before. Apartment tours from $800, 3D model included.
A tour turns a listing into a walkthrough. Here is what that changes for the buyer and for your sales team.
Prospects move from room to room through clickable hotspots and explore at their own pace. It works like an agent available around the clock. Tours come from the same 3D rendering company that makes your stills.
Visitors rarely leave the page without walking through the property first: the tour holds attention and lifts engagement. Embed the tour in your site or listing: it opens right in the browser, no app to install. Our guide to virtual tours of houses in 3D covers the process and the costs.
Why show walls when what you sell is a lifestyle? A tour lets buyers walk the rooms, see how the light falls through them, and picture themselves living in the place long before construction ends.
Let viewers feel what living there is like. Real decor, textures and colors on screen do what a floor plan cannot: they make people attach to a property they have never set foot in, and remember it afterwards.
A tour does not have to stop at one room. We link panoramas into a continuous walk, so a viewer steps from the kitchen out to the terrace, then down to the lobby and the pool, without leaving the page. How many points that takes depends on the property and on what actually sells it.

3D apartment tour: living room with a corner sofa and a city view through full-height glazing
A 360 virtual tour for real estate is a single panoramic render that lets viewers look around a space in every direction, a full 360° view from one viewpoint. It's not a photograph: it's a photorealistic CGI scene built at 6000×3000 px from architectural plans, so developers can showcase a room or exterior that hasn't been built yet.
This is the core building block of a larger virtual tour experience. One 360 panorama captures a penthouse living room or a lobby entrance; combine multiple panoramas with hotspot transitions, and buyers get a self-guided 360 house tour through an entire property. Either way, every scene is a render, meaning a virtual house tour can be produced for a project that exists only on paper, giving buyers a feel for materials, lighting, and spatial flow months before construction.
A finished 3D walkthrough embeds into any website via HTML or iframe and runs in mobile apps: compatible with most listing platforms for presale pages, MLS entries, or investor presentations.
For fully immersive experiences, we build tours on Unreal Engine. These let users navigate freely through a space in real time, while in a 360 virtual tour, viewers explore from fixed hotspot viewpoints where they can look around and zoom in/out.
We can work with any materials you have. We’ll turn your floor plans, sketches, and reference images into an interactive 3D tour. The full list is in the brief.
You can set tasks, pick 3D models, make revisions, talk with the team, and check progress in our online CRM platform at any time.
At this stage, you can view and approve the 3D virtual property tours. Once everything is ready, you are all set to market the property.
To start a 3D virtual tour project, send the CGI studio a set of materials. These can include plans, sketches, texture samples, and style references. Need the full list of files and details? Download the brief.
Time is the most precious asset of all. We built a workflow that helps you save more of it. Here is how we do it.
When you start working with us, you get a team of 3D artists for all your projects. They have a project manager and an art director. The project manager coordinates all tasks within each project, so you do not have to. The art director ensures quality and style. This keeps all 3D renderings and other assets across your projects consistent in mood and look.
Each CGI team includes skilled designers. They can finish your design or create one from scratch.
We help you avoid extra modeling. You get free access to our 3D library with more than 100,000 models. You will find there furniture, lighting, appliances, textiles, decor, plants, artwork, and even people and pets. All items are real, many from brands like Ashley Furniture, Miele, and Samsung. You can choose the items yourself or let our team do it for you.
Every property type sells differently. Pick the scenario closest to your project and see what we deliver for it.
Buyers can explore layouts, finishes, and amenities before the building exists. It is especially useful for off-plan sales in new developments or luxury complexes.
Developers and brokers use 3D rendering for virtual tours to attract tenants and investors before construction is complete.
3D tours allow early promotion to investors and travel partners. They are also useful for franchise or partnership pitches before the site is ready.
3D tours help in lease talks with anchor tenants before opening. They show interior layouts, lighting, and merchandising ideas.
3D tours help present the project vision in pitches or crowdfunding campaigns. They also show the potential of the property and keep investors engaged.
3D tours help stakeholders visualize functionality, accessibility, and design flow. They are ideal for government approvals, fundraising, or donor presentations.
Virtual tours and 3D rendering help explain big projects clearly to investors, city officials, and the public.
A 360 virtual tour helps explore private residences made for individual clients. It helps refine design choices and speeds up the start of construction.
3D tours help buyers and investors see the full concept. They show home layouts, shared areas, and amenities.

You will get:
• panoramic 3D renderings in 6000x3000 px resolution
• a zip archive with an HTML file upon request
You get a zip archive with an HTML file, so the tour is yours to put wherever your buyers are.
Your website
Upload the archive and publish the tour as its own page, or drop it into an existing page with an iframe tag. It opens in any browser, on desktop and on a phone, with nothing to install.
Listings and portals
Most listing platforms accept a link to an external tour, so the same file works on your site and in the listing.
Printed and on-site materials
A QR code on a brochure, a site hoarding or a signboard opens the tour on a phone. That matters most while the address is still a fence and a crane.
Email and CRM
The tour is a link, so it goes into a follow-up email or a nurture sequence like any other URL.
Social media
Platforms treat interactive content differently and the rules keep changing, so the reliable route is to post the link with a still panorama as the preview image.
3D virtual property tours show future homes in photorealistic quality. Posted on websites, they present properties 24/7 and attract more prospects to the listings. Virtual property tours are also interactive. They allow people to view every part of the space for as long as they need.
We can create a show-stopping VR interactive tour for you. The real estate 3D virtual tours shown on this page are made in 3ds Max and are not VR compatible. If you need VR real estate virtual tours, please let us know before the project starts. In that case, we will use the Unreal Engine software.
To create a virtual tour, 3D artists need a set of documents. These include floor plans, elevations, furniture layouts, lighting schemes, selected furniture and finishing materials, and background images. Every tour also has hotspots. These indicators help viewers navigate the virtual rooms. In your project brief, you should specify how many hotspots you want in your tour and where you want them.
A tour of an apartment starts from $800 and a tour of a single-family home from $925, with the 3D model and up to 12 viewpoints included. Larger properties are calculated by the number of rooms, viewpoints and the amount of custom modeling the interiors take. Send us the drawings and you get a fixed quote within an hour. For a full breakdown of what moves the number, see our 3D virtual tour pricing breakdown.
A video walkthrough is a pre-rendered animation, and viewers watch a fixed camera path. A 3D virtual tour is interactive: viewers move through the space themselves, look around 360°, and explore rooms in any order at their own pace. Tours create stronger engagement, while videos are better for social media and ads, and many of our clients order both.
A typical tour of one property takes about one to two weeks, depending on the number of rooms and the level of detail. We start the next business day after we receive your brief, send intermediate results for review, and deliver the final tour ready to embed on your website or listing.
A 360 virtual tour is a single panoramic render, one viewpoint where the viewer looks around a space in every direction. A 3D virtual tour lets users move freely through a fully modeled environment, similar to a video game. Multiple 360 panoramas can be linked with hotspot transitions to create a navigable tour, but each individual panorama remains a standalone 360° scene.
The spaces are modeled and rendered in 3ds Max with V-Ray, and the tour itself is a set of linked 360° panoramas that opens in any browser, with no plugin or app to install. Projects meant for a VR headset are built in Unreal Engine instead, so tell us before the start if that is the plan. Nothing is needed on your side. The property does not exist yet, so there is no camera, no scanner and no site visit involved: we work from your drawings.
A scan needs the building to be finished, because someone has to walk the real space with a camera. Our tours are rendered from drawings, so a buyer can walk the apartment while the site is still a foundation. That is the whole point for presales. There is a second difference: a scan captures a space exactly as it stands, while a rendered tour shows the finishes, furniture and light you plan to sell, and any of it can be changed before launch.
